Toyota Prius: Is This the Most Annoying Interior in 2026?

The Toyota Prius is officially in the UK, but it’s not the "taxi" you remember. In 2026, the Prius has transformed into a 223hp Plug-in Hybrid that looks like a baby Lamborghini—but has it lost its soul in the process? We're finding out if the sleek design has ruined the practical boot space and if the real-world efficiency still beats the competition from Hyundai and Kia. From the 40-mile electric-only range to the "hidden" door handles and the solar-panel roof, we’re putting the Prius through the ultimate test. We'll dive into the truth about the small 284-litre boot, the "controversial" dashboard layout, and why this might be the first Prius in history that people actually want to be seen in.
